About
North Dakota Long Term Care Association
NDLTCA is a professional and advocacy organization representing assisted living, basic care, nursing facilities, home care, home health, and hospice providers in North Dakota. We are an affiliate of the American Health Care Association, the National Center for Assisted Living, and the Alliance for Care at Home, representing not-for-profit and proprietary providers across the full continuum of long term care. Our members serve nearly 14,000 frail elderly and disabled individuals annually.
In addition, our Association represents approximately 14,000 dedicated professionals who care for North Dakota’s seniors and individuals with disabilities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—both in residential settings and in the home. Not only do our caregivers deliver quality care, they also strive to enhance each person’s dignity, independence, and quality of life.
Today, seniors want to maintain their independence as long as possible and be cared for in the setting that best meets their needs. Home care, home health, and hospice help individuals remain safely at home with the right supports. Assisted living and basic care provide quality services in a more homelike environment, and nursing facilities continue advancing person-centered models that embrace the strengths and individuality of the elders they serve.
The NDLTCA’s staff includes: President, Education Director, Administrative Assistant, Office Manager, and Emergency Services Director. The staff, under the direction of the President, is responsible for all administrative duties which include working with government agencies, lobbying, educational training, conventions, surveys, public relations, informational mailings, and individual consultation with members.
NDLTCA is governed by a 14 member Board elected by the membership. The Board consists of a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary/Treasure, Assisted Living Director-at-Large, Basic Care Director-at-Large, Care at Home Director-at-Large, Nursing Facility Director-at-Large, Hospital Attached Director-at-Large, and six Regional Directors. Overall policy of the NDLTCA is the responsibility of the Board.
NDLTCA has a very active membership. Members serve on a number of committees. Each committee develops goals to accomplish throughout the year. Many members are asked to participate on special task forces when critical issues develop.
By working with our members, NDLTCA strives to strengthen quality across the continuum and support the quality of life that North Dakotans have earned throughout their lives.
